Title: Method and apparatus for positioning strip
IPC: B65H23/02
Filed: 1964-09-30
Abstract: 1,044,060. Feeding webs. WEAN ENGINEERING CO. Inc. Sept. 30, 1964 [Feb. 26. 1964], No. 39880/64. Heading B6B. [Also in Division G1] In a continuous strip processing line the leading end of a new strip (e.g. of metal) is aligned with the trailing edge of a preceding strip (e.g. prior to welding the two) by comparing the transverse positions of the strips and using the error signal to reposition the new strip. The transverse position of the preceding strip, S, Fig. 2, is measured by arranging two sensors 14 so that one or the other is actuated as the strip moves to the right or the left, the signal obtained being amplified at 33, and used to operate an hydraulic system 28 to shift the table 15 which carries the sensors 14, thus maintaining the strip S centrally located relatively to the sensors. The position of the table is continuously measured at 27 and compared in an amplifier 36, Fig. 3 (not shown), with the transverse position, similarly measured at 56, of a table 49 carrying positioning guides 12 for the new strip. The resultant error signal operates an hydraulic system 51 to reposition the table 49. Any variation in width of the preceding strip, S, Fig. 2, operates both sensors 14 and no output is obtained from the amplifier 33, but a further sensor 14a (not visible in the Figs.) located adjacent the right-hand sensor 14 drives an amplifier 21 and a motor 20, which rotates a threaded rod 17 and moves the sensors 14 either nearer together or further apart. This equal and opposite movement of the sensors ensures that variations in width of the strip do not affect the measurement of its transverse position. The separation of the guides 12 (Fig. 3, not shown), for the new strip, is controlled by a handle 43 which rotates a threaded rod carrying a captive nut 42 and thus shifts a cylinder 40 with its associated piston 39 to move the guides nearer together or further apart. Variations in width of the new strip are accommodated by movement of the piston 39.

Abstract: 917,735. Change-speed control. HOUGH CO., FRANK G. Nov. 21, 1960 [Dec. 11, 1959], No. 39917/60. Class 80 (2). A vehicle three-speed gear mechanism comprises a manual selector lever 18 operating the control valve 13 of an hydraulic ratio-change mechanism through an auxiliary lever 30, the latter of which, when lever 18 is positioned for second or third gear, may be operated by kickdown of the accelerator pedal 54 to retract valve 13 and cause a single-ratio downshift. Auxiliary lever 18 is connected to main lever 30 by a pivot 31, but is normally caused to rotate with lever 30 by the action of a spring 38 which presses semi-circular bearing members 41 at the lower end of lever 18 against the pivot pins 26 of the main lever, the force of spring 38 being overcome by a bell-crank 44 operated by a linkage 53, 52, 49 upon kick-down of pedal 54, to rotate lever 18 about its pivot 31 and thus retract valve 13.

Title: Door bolt mechanism and keeper
IPC: E05B63/12
Filed: 1962-10-26
Abstract: 1,000,609. Latch fastenings. S. B. MCKENZIE. Oct. 26, 1962; No. 40631/62. Heading E2A. A door bolt mechanism and keeper comprises a containing chamber 4 adapted to be inserted in the edge of a door 1, a spring loaded bolt 28 slidable therein, a bolt draw bar 25 mounted for longitudinal sliding movement in the chamber and operatively connected by one end to the bolt, a rack 18 secured to the other end of the bolt draw bar, a pinion 10 journalled for rotation within the chamber and engaging the rack, handle means mounted at right angles to the chamber, a spindle 11 secured to the pinion and extending through the chamber to mount the handle means and a dead bolt cross bar 34 mounted transversely for movement in the extending end of the bolt and means co-operating between the bolt draw bar and the dead bolt cross-bar adapted to extend one end of the dead bolt cross-bar when the bolt is extended and to permit retraction of the dead bolt cross bar when the bolt is retracted. In the construction shown, when the door is open the bolt is retained in a semi-retracted position by the engagement of a head-piece 23 attached to the rack with the right hand side of a spring loaded cam 36. Shutting the door engages the bolt with the keeper and retracts it further, this causes a pin 45 on the bolt to pivot the cam to release the head-piece 23, the bolt thus moves to its extended position under the urge of its spring 40. There is a lost motion, pin and slot, connection between the draw bar 25 and the bolt and when the bolt reaches its extended position, the draw bar continues to move under the urge of a spring 53 in the handle sleeve 48 via the rack and pinion, the end of the draw bar engages a recess 35 in the dead bolt cross-bar and moves it to its extended position. To release the door, the handle 17 is turned clockwise and moves the head-piece 23 behind the cam 36 so that the bolt is held in the semiretracted position, the initial movement of the handle takes up the lost motion between the draw bar 25 and the bolt and thus frees the dead bolt cross-bar which is thus retracted by engagement with the keeper. The handle sleeve 48 contains a pair of members 55, 60 with sloping cam faces, one 55 attached to the sleeve 48 and the other 60 to the escutcheon plate 61; the member 55 is loaded by the spring 53 and the arrangement allows the handle 17 to return to a predetermined position when the door is closed and also permits counter clockwise rotation in this position. The spindle 11 is detachably connected to the pinion 10 by a pin 14 engaging slots 13 in a sleeve 8 secured to the pinion. On the opposite side of the door to the handle 17, is a handle 15 containing a barrel lock mechanism connected to the spindle 11 by a universal joint 16.

Abstract: 1,055,560. Control of D.C. motors. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Oct. 5, 1965 [Oct. 7, 1964], No. 40865/64. Heading H2J. [Also in Division G3] Motor 10 is accelerated from rest when speed controller 15 is adjusted to provide a reference signal which passes through switch 16 to grid controller 17, whereby converter 11 drives current through the armature of the motor. To off-set the reduction of armature current which would otherwise be caused by the back E.M.F., a compensating signal is applied to the grid controller from generator 19. A speed reset signal from tachometer generator 14 opposes the reference signal from controller 15 to provide a speed error signal. During the acceleration period, and when the motor is operating at steady speed, amplifiers 20, 21 each produce a signal for AND gate 22 whereby amplifier 24 controls the switch 16 to transmit the speed error signal without a change of polarity. If an overhauling load causes the speed error signal to become negative, the amplifier 20 provides a signal to gate 23 instead of the gate 22. At the same time, amplifier 20 initiates operation of a field-reversing switch, and reverses the signal from generator 19. Before field reversal is completed, the amplifier 24 receives no signal from either gate and produces a swamping signal for the grid controller so that the converter is biased to the fullyinverted condition and no current flows in the armature current. As soon as the motor field has changed-over, amplifier 21 activates gate 23 whereby amplifier 24 cancels the swamping signal and actuates switch 16 to reverse the polarity of the speed error signal. Power is returned to the A.C. source from the motor through the converter, thereby affording regenerative braking operation. A subsequent change of the speed error signal to a positive value causes further motoring operation, the field and back E.M.F. compensating signal being reversed, and the switch 16 transmitting the error signal without change of polarity. During the change-over, the speed error signal is again temporarily replaced by the swamping signal. A generator 18 supplies a current reset signal to the grid controller 17.

As shown the driving means consists of a hand wheel 3 mounted on wall 1 and a shaft 4 rotatable by the wheel 3 and connected to gearing 5 mounted on the door, the gearing 5 being connected to the shaft 6 The latter has oppositely handed screw threads at its respective ends which engage with slides 7 so that rotation of shafts 6 moves the slides 7 towards or away from each other. The slides 7 have motion transmitting elements 10 which operate the toggle mechanisms 11 to move bolts 13 into engagement (or out of engagement) with bolt receiving holes in pieces 12 fixed to the wall 1. The ends of the bolts are tapered so that by a wedging action they force the door against the wall (Fig. 2, not shown). The shaft 6 has slight axial freedom of movement, e.g. by mounting the gearing 5 on the door with some resilience so that possible differences in the bolting forces in the upper and lower parts of the door are balanced through the shaft. There may be some clearance between the elements 10 and the toggle mechanisms so that the initial movement of the driving means can be used to bring about some additional function, e.g. the operation of a pressure balancing valve if the door is used in conjunction with an air lock. The door may be provided with flexible seals and a mechanical stop to prevent overcompression of the seals and the door is preferably mounted on arms 19 hinged to the wall at 20 and to the centre of the door at 17.
